Plano B - Plan B - In the bubble by John Thackara 12

Esta foi a primeira campanha de divulgação no próprio site que fizemos, obtive bons retornos, é algo que dá para ser feito, espero que as pessoas tenham podido aproveitar, mas espero mais ainda que tenha surgido interesse para comprar o livro, afinal, editor que não vende, não vive…

Since Roman times, we have designed rapid-transit water conveyance systems that keep land relatively dry, provided a supply of potable water, and carried away human waste for disposal.
